I'm not a big Game Of Thrones fan so I'm not very familiar with Miss Clarke's work, but I did see her in Terminator Genisys and thought she handled the role of Sarah Conor quite well. But who might she be playing? I'm hoping for an original, ballsy, female smuggler. A contemporary for Han and Lando to bounce off of in this film. Looking at Lucasfilm's recent attitudes toward female characters in Star Wars, I think it's safe to assume Miss Clarke will be a whole lot more than just a love interest.
